i believe they are about the same, seeing as both founders of the company are the same, rodney mullen and daewon song i believe, and they both rode for them before they quit and started almost.

i personaly am getting a new almost board, and i trust them better, since rodney mullen is one of the people that helped design the modern skateboard, and he knows whats up when it comes to board production. the fact that he left enjoi for a new compnay shows that he wanted to make better boards. if its any indicator, their team is awesome so the boards must be pretty good.

but it also has alot to do with personal taste and preferences. almost has pretty much the same shapes, plus some uber deep concave boards. i don't think you can go wrong with either, but i think almost is a better choice from what my friends have told me and the reaction at skateshops. look at skateboardsonline.net and look at the reviews, its a pretty good indicator.

but read my name, almostaskiier, thats direct inspiration right there, and im obviously biased. im getting an almost deck with monster mold this summer, so i think you should go with almost aswell. great pop and concave.

and are you in ns skateboarders yet?

Bons, you can stand on a skateboard without breaking it in half?

well even though i really like it, i'm definitely open to a new board. I'm thinking about the red round three team one

or

the rocker one

http://www.360skate.com/pd_almost_rocker.cfm

do you know what the concave is on those? monster or control or what

I've never had the same company twice, but I'm lost as to what my next deck should be. Mine's about to go, and i don't know what to pick up. It's a Habitat and was one of the best decks i've ever had, but i like trying new boards. On this one i would call Enjoi, but that's biased because i loved the Enjoi's i touched, but i've never held an Almost

ha.

if a deck lasts you 5 years then just get a blank deck or something and just paint it. you wont need anything super technical or expensive.

^you guys must not skate a whole lot if you can manage to have the same deck for 5 years and only have it start to crack. I'd personally suggest a blank becuase they are cheaper. But if you looking for a brand name I'd say go with alien workshop becuase those decks have so much pop its nuts

go to a store and buy one....cuz that way you can stand on it before you buy it or get griptape put on......you'll get the feel of the board and concave and shape and width....its all about what YOU like..so asking a bunch of other kids who have different opinions aint gunna help to much!, but yeah they are both pretty sweet deck brands....i think they will both do you good whatever you end up choosing.
